Blockchain and Beyond: Encoding 21st Century Transport

The International Transport Forum has released a report that investigates the potential for distributed ledger technologies (DLT) to support broader coordination of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in urban settings. DLTs, such as blockchain, allow agents to enter into direct relationships with each other according to a commonly agreed set of rules without having to go through a central authority. These technologies may allow decentralized applications, such as those required for MaaS deployment, to run in peer-to-peer networks.
